The only times it would seem to make sense to me is if there was too much
bleed or the surface took on a bad reflective differential.

I became a real believer in getting the best dmax possible when I compared
good glossy brochures with my old matte paper gallery brochures in the
sunlight.  Indoors I think matte paper looks great, but at the gallery I'm
in people typically grab brochures and walk outside.  In direct sun, I don't
think there is such a thing as too deep a black.  The weak blacks turn to a
smokey gray.
